You only bought 40 rounds of 7.62x54r online? That'll barely last you 1 trip not to mention the shipping prices. I only buy ammo online in bulk.

I sure hope that's cosmoline on the bolt.

Doesn't look like it to me. Clean the rust off!

not difficult... you can find commercial ammo without too much trouble it's just not cheap

surplus is next to impossible to find

If you reload you can utilize 30-06 or 8mm casings. They will have to be cut (in the case of the 30-06) or resized (8mm) but can still be used.

I've been seeing 300 round cases lately but a year and a half ago when I bought mine I got 2 440 cases + shipping for $110.

I haven't ordered any since the 440 round cans were cheap and plentiful. I still have over 3000+ rounds. I have even more 8mm Mauser, most on stripper clips.

Buy 'em cheap, and stack 'em deep. :D

The people I am going with have their own 7.62 54. I will freeload on ammo.
I cleaned the Arisaka. It really wasnt rust.. or just very very little.

I don't want to start a political debate in here, but I thought you Americans needed to know this.

Looks like they want to disarm you guys. They don't even know the definition of a semi-automatic weapon.:rolleyes:


yes well the supreme court struck down the Handgun ban in DC! A good day for all that wish to defend themselves with something other than swords...

Supreme court ruled 5-4 AGAINST the DC gun ban. They defended the INDIVIDUALS right to bear arms!

I'm not too worried, both Obama and McCain have said they won't touch the 2nd amendment, no matter what the poor republican trash-heap emails that circulate around say.

Oh, and thanks for the heads up about 6.5Jap at Graf&Sons, I may pick some up to try my T38 out with...
